A card for the Just Magnolia Challenge - "A Sketch by Bev"

Good Morning Girls, well heres another thank you card being combined with the Just Magnolia Challenge "A Sketch by Bev" our Bev has certainly been busy this week with her sketches this is the second one Ive used I do think shes definitely got the creativeness for this and her sketches are really lovely to use.

Ive used this beautiful image of Tilda its from the new "Wedding" set, Im not sure if shes supposed to be a bridesmaid or a guest but she looks so pretty with her parasol, anyway Ive stamped her onto white card and coloured her with my copic pens, then cut around her parasol then punched her out with my circle nestabilitie die. The sentiment is another of the JM stamps and this one Ive cut out with a heart die.

The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with two papers from the Kay Miller Downloads sets, a very pretty flower pattern for my first layer with a base colour of blue and the second mount is a striped paper with the same colours. On top of this I have stuck a lace strip, then punched two holes through the mount for my image and fed a blue ribbon through and stuck it to the back of the first layer.

On top this mount Ive put my stamped image and slid it into place, the mounted sentiment was then stuck at the bottom to the left.

The flower spray was then created and stuck at the top on the left and this consists of three different size roses and some punched out leaves. With the final flourish of three pearls stuck on the right at the top.

Good morning Shirley,thanks for the many lovely comments on my blog.. I'm happy ;o)Your card is lovely,Shirley!!The little Tilda is very sweet and your colouring on it...is a dream!Great colours.Have a lovely dayHugsSwaani

About Me

Hi, My name is Shirley, and Im a 75 year old wife and grandmother, Ive been papercrafting for about 12 years, but have always been into knitting, sewing embroidery, painting and drawing, anything I can get my hands on.
My husband who's now retired is long suffering man who fortunately encourages me in my craft and Im really grateful for that.
I have three daughters, and two step daughters, and between my husband and I we have 10 grandchildren, 4 girls and 6 boys and 3 great grandsons.
My eldest grandson is 38 and is in the RAF and Im so proud of him, hes married with two gorgeous little boys. Our other grandchildren range from 1 years upwards.
I also live in the Forest of Dean, Gloucester, its the most beautiful place and I love living here.
I sincerely hope you will enjoy looking at my attempts in craft making.
I should also explain the origin of my name Nannieflash, this is what my grandchildren call me for the obvious reason, Im forever taking photos of them, and now my step-daughter has been christened Mummyflash for the same reason.
